Description
Pentaceratops was a ceratopsid dinosaur that lived in North America. Its name means 'five-horned face'. Like other ceratopsids, it possessed a frill with horns. It used a tough beak with a tooth battery in its upper jaw to consume vegetation like palms and horsetails.
Discovery
Pentaceratops remains have mostly been recovered from the Kirtland Formation. The first was found in 1921 in the San Juan Basin in New Mexico.
Paleoecology
The Kirtland Formation was formed from alluvial mud and sand deposits draining the coastal plain on the inland shore of North America.
